Amazing!!!! If you are a criminal, non-productive, or one who deviates from societal norms, the courts will protect you till the end. On the other hand, an ordinary white christian taxpayer seems to have no rights at all. Look at Kilo. Yet the alleged reason given to extend rights to criminals is that it somehow protects the average citizen. Frankly, I have no desire to marry another man, but I certainly care if the government arbitrarily takes my property to give to another more politically person. We are going nuts. lj
